Is Mr. O'Kelly familiar with the model in British Columbia and other regions in Canada in that the authorities publish reports as soon a contract is signed in respect of a PPP project? It sets out risk analysis and the complete 25 or 30-year picture. It gives information on the entire project. It evaluates whether value for money will be achieved. Everything has to be captured and justified. We do not seem to have the same type of process here, as far as I can see. That seems to be a better model because, for us, information is key. Our job is to evaluate information.

On the same track in terms of information, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's website is where we get a list of all the PPP projects but it is three years out of date.
